Hello ALL, I have become the victim of Highland Holiday Homes(Pune). I enrolled in the month of Aug 07, on one Sunday I had received the call from Highland Holiday Homes and was told that’you are among the few who have been selected for the free stay voucher. But for getting the voucher I need come to attend the seminar along with spouse.’ When I visited there I found that there were six to seven table counters where each couple were seated & being explained about their various plans for becoming members.
In the same way I was explained & executives were trying to convince(almost for 1 and half hour). After that I came out of the room to think whether to become a member or not. My spouse was bit convinced & she encouraged me to become the member. I was not sensing good about this company because the ambience where they called for seminar was very substandard I thought it might be temporary place & so. Even the quality of brochures was not very good. Actually I was very reluctant to pay the amount as I did not had any clue about reliability of this company.
But they told that even Bajaj is having a Joint venture with Cisons group(Chennai). I trusted’Bajaj’ name & then decided to become the member. I also got attracted by the discount if I pay by Credit Card & finally decided to become Gold member(they did not had even credit card Swipe machine so they took the imprint of my credit card on the slip).
They told that I can convert the amount into EMI from bank & they will bear the Interest portion. Now this could be enough for any one to become the victim of their TRAP. I am still paying the EMI and I am yet to go to their office for claiming the Interest portion. I haven’t still used any kind of service. But from the various review I can imagine what type of service they are providing.
I have made a big mistake by believing their words. Even after becoming the member I kept receiving the calls from them regarding free stay voucher. After this my belief became stronger regarding the reliability. Friends lets take some action against such organizations. I am ready to make complain in consumer forum. I hope I get the refund.
Regards
